Fly Tinamou ChoCOOlate | Salted Caramel & Hazelnut Eggs Pre-Order starts to ship April 7
It's the return of our Easter eggs! Every year we partner up with ornithologist Dr. Karla Rivera (a bird nerd if you will) to make our eggs imPeckably match the natural color of each species found in the wild. We bet bird mommas would have a hard time picking the right one!
Our Tinamou bird eggs contain salted caramel layered on toasted brown butter corn flakes in hazelnut praline.
Bird Fact: There are 48 species of Tinamous and many live in the same areas. While they have a dull plumage, many species lay brightly colored eggs including magenta, pink, purple and like our chocolate egg, turquoise. However, the reason behind these bright colors has remained a mystery. Scientists came up with 3 possibilities: 1 the colors could deter predators making them think it is something poisonous, or that the eggs taste bad, 2. they could signal quality of the female (the brighter the better) to the male and 3. they could serve as a signal between species preventing the male (yes! The male does the egg caring) of one species to take care of the eggs of a different species. Researchers have found support for the third option because Tinamou species that live in the same area tend to have distinctly colored eggs.

REVIEWS
Ordered a box of truffles and bonbons, plus a chocolate bar and they were all by far, the best chocolates I have ever had in my life. I will never go back to store bought chocolate (Hersheys, Nestle, etc.) The sugar level is low but perfectly sweet, not overly sweet as with most chocolates. This helps the cacao flavor to really shine and adds yet another level of indulgence. I cannot say enough good things about this company. If you haven't tried them out, give them a chance.
The chocolates at Exquisito Chocolates are 'DDD'... Divinely Delectably Delicious... There's no comparison to mas produced chocolate... Dark chocolates pair well with a red wine but with chocolates from Exquisito, it's on another level of decadence... Hey how 'bout that, another 'D'... ... Try these chocolates, they're well worth it.
I had heard of this place through word of mouth and various social media posts so I decided to come buy some chocolates for Valentine’s Day. I was not disappointed! It was some of the best truffles I’ve EVER had and I love how creative the names are! My favorite was probably the Miami Vice (cafe con leche with dulce de leche). The flavor was very distinct and I just love how it melts in your mouth. I’m definitely coming back for one of their tastings where you can bring your own wine.
Exquisite! Ordered it online and never expected to fall in love with chocolates all over again. I love that the sweetness is minimal where you can taste the coca with different taste notes, this is probably how chocolate is supposed to taste. These days chocolates are overpowered with sweetness where the taste of coca vanishes. I would recommend it for anyone who does not think that the “gold standards” of chocolates is a available while you are filling up gas or at your local grocery store.
